Fortunately, I kept backups of CCleaner's registry deletions, some of which are clearly nothing to do with this adware:

MBAM later found StartGo123, which had been hijacking Chrome.

I imagine the malware writers reading our conversation and learning too, but HTH.

Hello,

Oh. It would have been interesting to get all the references to BrowserAir, so that I would have added them to AdwCleaner.

But thanks for the feedback :)

Have now run CCleaner to clean Registry and remove many, but not all, references to BrowserAir.

Windows: Settings: System: Default apps: Choose default applications by file type: .htm no longer shows BrowserAir.

Whichever Prinicpal I give Full Control, there is always some other Principal's permission lacking to delete Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner.

Running AdwCleaner isn't managing to do so either.  Log file: https://up2sha.re/file?f=4pnRQn2e5du8...
